“That’s just the crime,” inter¬ 
rupted Mrs. Slater, “a woman 
can’t afford that excuse any 
longer. If you are ignorant, in¬

“Then, pray, how did you manage it?” 
“I let money talk. Money, my dear Gwen, 
is the thing that makes a man sit up and take 
notice and if you can prove that you can save, 
no matter what your initial expenditure may
